Hi Finra. How are you today? Reason I'm writing this is to ask you to please look into hedge funds that are illegally shorting and manipulating the stock market. For far too long these Hf are hurting the market. As an investor I just want a fair market to invest and I am looking at the regulators like the Finra and the SEC to restore the integrity of the stock market. You are my only hope of a fair market for this generation and the generation to come. Thanks you.

I think it’s important to ALL investors that all short shares/failure to deliver shares/ dark pool shares be reported on a honest and legal standing. It’s been pretty clear that this is not happening. The entire stock market needs to be monitored for each settled business day. Please lock out the corruption and deceit from hedge fund companies. They are and solely destroying companies on a daily basis. The fact that are aren’t regulated on a daily or weekly basis is pretty disappointing. Do right by the people who invest their hard earned money to keep the economy flowing.

FINRA should have more transparency in short positions and made accessible to investors. All 6 proposed changes are an excellent start.

1) Disclosure for short positions 2)Get rid of dark pools 3) Real penalties for hedge funds breaking the law. A small fine does not stop them from breaking the law when they make billions on the crime and get fined thousands.

1) Market maker cannot run their hedge funds : They have huge conflict of interest in their actions as market maker. 2) Mandatory short interest and long interest on weekly basis 3)US to adopt a settlement discipline regime (like EU's CSDR), which would reverse failed trades and suspend market participants who repeatedly fail to deliver shares sold 4) Acting on current rules diligently. 5) Holding short seller accountable for market manipulations and reimbursing those who lost their money due to these illegal activities .

We need more frequent and accurate reporting!

As a Country, we've lost confidence in the free market of the United States of America. My suggestions would be: T-0 real time settlement FTD's forced to deliver per the regulations Enforcement of illegal naked shorts that have decimated retail's portfolios for decades. Increased scrutiny of dark pools (some of these stocks are being traded 60% in dark pools) Elimination of being able to mark shorts as exempt when SSR rules are in place

Hello, I will keep my comment brief. I am a $XXX,XXX.XX retail investor that humbly supports any and proposed measures to improve transparency and data accuracy for retail investors. While the term “free market” is a farce, I do believe we should have a fair market which currently we do not. Institutional shorting data is horribly unreported given the 2 week delay in reporting in addition to its complete lack of required filing on the 13-F. Thank you for your time and effort to allow retail investors a chance to make informed decisions about their investments.

When a fail to delivers occur the firm who failed to deliver should be suspended from trading until covered. It would be harsher than the small million dollar fines that most firms scoff at.

You need to stop the endless cycles of Fails to Deliver (FTD). Force institutions to settle their positions. Otherwise they can hide all their naked positions forever until they bankrupt their targeted company. Enough is enough. Stop the endless FTD cycle.
